It would be nice if the ignored post showed the poster's name in addition to the generic text - and for threads started by someone on ignore also show the title of the thread.

Not a must-have but helpful IMO.

Also was a big fan of the block. The reason being is that certain people, thankfully not a lot, don't know how to have civil conversations. By placing those people on block you could then start a thread where the conversation would devolve into pure mudslinging and insults.

Twentyfive I was wondering how Icey was able to post in your topic. I was gonna scold you for not having him on ignore but now I see what's up. What a shame.

I would agree with you TFP that the block system encouraged civility. If you insulted someone enough they could just block you so there was a reason for people to temper their discussion tone.

I would also like to make a humble appeal to reconsider the old ignore.

Here is one example of its positive effects:
https://www.tuscl.net/discussion.php?id=…

The haters were going after blondbomb hard, but then stopped abruptly after blondbomb put them on ignore. I didn’t realize at the time why the pistola/txtittyfag accidental wrong account slip comment had disappeared, until later I realized about the comment thread disappearing.

*But* if she had the ability to use that feature all along, then it could have been a fun thread the way she intended that didn’t have to diverge the way it did.

Even if the OP is using ignore, the troll just has to redirect the comments from the other participants away from the thread.

And it’s all still not censorship. Somebody can still make his/her own threads.

I like ignore better than block, but I'm with Papi I think there would be some value to showing a little more info. For example, if you could indicate the poster name if I Ignored the poster or the thread name if I ignored the thread.

Not a gripe, the way it is now isn't bad. Just noting that it could be more useful the other way...

The problem with the block rather than ignore is you have two posters that are actively trying to undermine posts, I don’t really care what they have to say, and I’m far from thin skinned, but if you allow people to just come out and try to take over the conversation there’s no point to a discussion, especially when the both of the two I had ignored will spam the fuck out of a topic and do their best to drive everyone away.
Realistically a smart ass remark is fine I make them from time to time, but @founder this is ridiculous we have a post about one topic and ignore one will come on and say make out with her in the front room, and take off your pants, then ignore two will come on and say these geriatric tricks are picking on me sorry founder but I bet I’m not the only one that is more than disinterested in dealing with those two.

+1 for what 25 said. Virtually all of my blocked posters are trolls and I'm sure that this is the same for most. It is doubtful that a troll is going to add anything meaningful to a thread and far more likely that said troll will derail the thread with crap. The discussion board was a better place due to this control and not having it is going to turn this back into a circus whenever a troll chooses to run wild.

I think that users should have the ability to keep other disruptive users from participating in threads that they create. Similar to how we now have the ability to restrict from our discussion feed the threads that we deem to be junk threads (for whatever reason).

Users have plenty of opportunities to express their thoughts and opinions with the 'block' function in place. If a certain user finds him or herself blocked by many, then that says more about the discourse of that widely-ignored user and not those doing the blocking.

25 and I don't always see eye to eye, but he is 100% right on this one. The anti-trolling controls that were in place were working. I have a long block list, for good reason. But I am also admittedly abrasive at times, so anyone who doesn't like my posts could block me.

For example, PaulDrake was free to continue his DFW advertising threads, er, I mean his insightful club intel posts, without my interference. Also, for some reason blondbombshell decided to block me which, while a mystery to me since I never had any interaction with her, apparently made her more comfortable. While I wasn't thrilled about being blocked from their threads, it was an acceptable trade-off to having my own threads packed with troll garbage.

@RD It seems that these folks have more rights, because they refuse to follow the rules, I’m far from the most prolific reviewer here on the site, but I get along with others reasonably well, genuinely curb my most disruptive impulses, yet @founder favors the folks that publish tons of off topic drivel, drive women and newbies away, even copy and paste shit from the private section of the forum, like I said earlier I’m far from thin skinned and give as good as I get but sometimes it gets tiresome, as a result I haven’t gotten the motivation to write more than a single review at a time because I feel like what I and you and many others do to drive traffic to this site isn’t appreciated. No I am not interested in a tissue flagooner, and I get that there are others that feel different but I’d bet more are in line with my thinking on this subject than not.

Block creates a better user experience (particularly for dancers) and cleaner threads.

I continue to believe that users should have greater control over who participates in the threads they create. There are plenty of ways for users to express their views via their own threads and in threads created by those who have not blocked them.

This reversion back to 'ignore' encourages more drama and bickering.

Agreed, within reason. I'm not a big fan of blocking users just because they disagree with me, but being able to keep the unrelated troll crap out is huge.

Below is an example of the type of cool and civil conversation we can have when there is no troll nonsense. I hadn't posted a fun brag thread like this in years because they inevitably fell apart into troll crap. Aren't stories like this what many of us enjoy about a site like this? There are several other examples of good and topical posts in VIP as well. Why in the world do we want to go back to a situation where trolls can firebomb threads at will?

Then so be it. It beats a troll posting 30 off-topic posts in a 60 post thread, or bumping with blank posts, or copying and pasting the same comment over and over, or...[insert BS here]. In other words, all the shit that has been happening over the past several years that often make the discussion threads all but pointless.

Papi said "Blocking someone from one's thread is also blocking them from the comments everyone else is making in the thread, I think it's overkill."

I don't. Actually, it's a feature, not a flaw. Blocked/ignored users almost never enter threads started by those they dislike to have a civil conversation with the other commenters. Usually, it's to pick fights with anyone available to derail a thread or lobby against the OP, etc.

"if one doesn't like someone's opinion then not seeing their post should suffice"

Not really. Once ignored users and viewable users start bantering / bickering back and forth, the thread becomes difficult or impossible to parse... primarily to the person who took the time to create the thread.

And simply not seeing posts does nothing to address how easily threads can be derailed by an ignored user.

Trolls mainly exist bc posters keep feeding them - ignoring them via Ignore-function and not getting into a back-and-forth 20-post battle with them sometimes months-on-end would eliminate most of the problems - the augmented Ignore features for the most part make it so trolls are not much of an issue unless you make it one

Yep, the big advantage of block is, you could have a thread and keep it from getting disrupted and disrailed, which is the real aim of the trolls. Ignore does nothing for that -- you can't see the particular troll, but you can see all the troll feeders filling up the thread with responses and arguments. Block was an amazing good tool to keep the increasingly-overwhelmed high quality threads in this group, on track with on-topic content
avatar for Papi_Chulo

The full-on block means if someone doesn't like you they can keep you from fully participating on the board (by not allowing you to see any posts, not just yours, in a particular thread).

Lack of moderation is a big part of TUSCL's success IMO - and I think Founder has done a good job of adding features so anyone can individually moderate (if they choose to individually moderate including not feeding the trolls)

Most folks won't block arbitrarily, the few that have a large block list don't create a lot of content anyway.

I know I'm a new guy, but if I understand the issue right, I have to agree with the people who think that blocking is better than simply ignoring.

Am I right in assuming that the board used to have a block feature that would keep blocked people from posting on a discussion? And that it's been changed now so that you only can't see it when they do?

If someone is doing nothing but make nonsense posts that add nothing to the discussion, or derail it, or just to attack people, why not allow the discussion starter block them? The retards can go start their own discussion and attack, derail and nonsensify it all they want.

I know some web sites operate on page hits, so maybe the site owner gets more hits when not blocking?

===> "Trolls mainly exist bc posters keep feeding them -"

I used to believe this too, but no more. Here on tuscl I found a whole new breed of troll, able to sustain itself with little to no interaction. On here, trolls with autistic tendendcies will cut and paste the same posts over and over endlessly just for the heck of it. On here, trolls will blow up threads without anyone interacting with them just because they feel like. On most sites, when normal remedies - like ignoring - fail, there is ultimately someone who can administer an antibiotic to kill the infection. On here, the infection takes over and turns the whole board to shit.

I thought that the thread block was a healthy and modest compromise. There is nothing stopping a troll from creating his own counter-threads if he so chooses or posting whatever else he wants in his own threads or in places where he is not blocked. After all, it's not like most of these trolls don't have multiple accounts anyway, so they'll certainly know if someone who has blocked them posted something.

Like I said, I don't give a shit if someone disagrees with me. indeed, I often enjoy the back and forth. But trolling is a completely different animal and I don't put that in the same "freedom of speech" category because its intent is to do nothing more than to incite, derail and otherwise cause chaos.

This is the last I'll post in this thread.

My very first post to TUSCL was simply in a cordial discussion with other guys that like and willingly choose to LDK in a private dance. And his "contribution" to me was to call me a chump and a mark deluded by a clip joint scam. Then later I realized that he doesn't actually go to strip clubs and that everything he posts about strippers is a fantasy theory in his own head as opposed to him actually experiencing what he is preaching.

All that said I don't care about block or ignore myself. I just ignore anything I don't want to read. founder's choice.

To other trolls copying and pasting the same comment literally 100 times to a point where everyone just says "fuck it" and abandons the thread?

Below is my current ignore list, minus one so i don't set him off on another round of whining. This is the cleaned up version, but some of the older names should bring back wonderful memories. If you believe that a single one of these names brought anything but disruption and fake nonsense to the board, please let me know.

I have to assume I’m the one you didn’t list to “avoid another round of whining.” So my question is, if you have me on ignore, why do read and respond to all my posts anyway? Seems like a lot of extra work

^^^^ Rick, this forum is more civilized now, and you do have your Underground Circle Jerk VIP Room.

But remember, this forum has thrived because it draws people here, and I say that that is because of only the very lightest moderation.

Hey SJG... remember when Founder told you how much he valued your contributions to TUSCL?

https://www.tuscl.net/app/discussion.php…

"SJG, you have zero reviews, and you don't pay. Those two things are the value of the site. Discussion board? Yeah, not so much."

"SJG, you are a relentless socialist. Taking what you can from our free discussion site and giving nothing in return."

Ishamel, you are the one who is just trying to stir up animosity with your negative meta, hence disrupting threads.

That's not meta data or meta narratives. Those are direct quotes.

But you Ishmael are the one posting, filling up a thread with negative personal attacks. You Ishmael are the one doing this.

I am going to make one last point to you SJG and I'm done, you are a selfish spoiled brat, you want everything to be in your favor and refuse to allow anyone to post with out interfering, this here is a case in point. you are complaining that I or anyone, doesn't go along with what you want you will spam, insult, and generally act like a nuisance, even so far as to make up things that you know to be untrue.
There is no censorship on my part, you are free to make as many threads as your heart desires, but this one is mine, I have the right to lock you out, and have been trying to exercise, my rights. I have not abridged your rights in any way. I should have the right to associate with whom I want, and NOT associate with anyone I choose not to.

The argument being made is that you make a lot of demands and create a lot of churn on a site to which you contribute sweet fuck all.

I'm supporting that argument by way of direct quotes from the guy who runs this site. And my arguments are not personal, but pertain to your behavior here.

You're response is type nonsense about negative meta whatever with one hand while using your tears as lube to masturbate frantically. At least until you get around to making threats of violence (which I suspect also gets typed with one hand...).

In fact, you're the one doing this.

You guys have Ignore, thread by thread Ignore, and you have the Underground Circle Jerk VIP Room.

What you do not have is the ability to stop me from posting on front room threads. So what.

It is you two who are the spoiled brats.

So I guess you're not-new strategy is to just not address the points being made and repeat yourself like a parrot.

For a guy who argues that there's no such thing as Aspergers, you really have a shit-ton of on-spectrum behaviors.

Ishmael, you have your Underground Circle Jerk VIP Room.

I, on the other hand, am not interested in that.

So I'm 100% correct, you get rights, by denying me mine, you are a fascist, and I'm going to lobby founder to allow blocking of threads !!

You have your circle jerk room, and you have ignore and thread by thread ignore.

You are working against the health of this forum.

Get yourself to that circle jerk room.

It's a solid bet that you're counting the minutes to "People's Court". #wapner #rainman

Wow. Talk about entitled cluelessness. I don't have anyone on ignore yet, but by the time I do I hope the site owner sees fit to re-implement the blocking I gather used to be in effect.

Ishmael and prevert, just open that hatch out in the center of the parking lot, and climb down the ladder.

The lights are kept low and your needs will be met.

Yes, it means you have no actual meaningful response to evidence of your abuse of the system so you spout nonsense to try to distract from that.

No. It's a non statement and school yard epithet that you're using to avoid addressing any of the points made by many above.

It means nothing.
